A lightweight dress, Burda, April 2007, # 108

I had some free time on Saturday afternoon and wanted to do something quick I could finish that afternoon, so the best option was a model Burda magazine, April, 2007,# 108 as the pattern required to wear knit I took the opportunity to choose this fantastic silk knit pattern that reminds me of feathers, but the drawing is in reality something abstract.

The dress is elastic, so do not take any zippers, so I started sewing it at five in the afternoon and finished it justly at nine, which is a pleasure. The only thing I changed was the sleeve, I wanted to take the band printing, which is repeated at the hem of the dress.The fit was perfect and I just had to cut a little long in the shoulder seam to sleeve started in the right place.

As I had already succesfully sewn this burda-pattern in differnet variations I am very excited by your version. I like the lace ribbon very much and the solution with the sleeves.I was not content with the fit of the "original" flatter-sleeve.

In the German burda there had been a longsleeve version not as a dress but as a shirt.

Another lovely dress. How did you place the border on the skirt? Did you let it "curve" on the original skirt piece ( it looks a-line), or did you make the border follow the hem and add seams or darts to the skirt?-sewingelle
